As a former employee of DHS, not TSA thank god, and frequent traveler during those times under official business my suggestion would be no cutter and no lighter. It may say allowed on the website but do you want to wait while someone goes and looks it up? That said I have accidently left cutters, scalpels, dissection kits, vials of alcohol and more banned and not banned substances in carry-on luggage that has never been looked at and at other times chastised for having a can of soda, a regular lighter (not butane, before,during, and after the change in that restriction), chastised for having departmental patches in my luggage because that isn't a secure and on and on. If someone wants to take it you have to decide how much of a fight you are willing to put up if you are right, is that worth it?
